What's Donald Trump to do after normalizing the far-right in America? Start normalizing the far-right in the U.K.!
The president shined a spotlight on yet another anti-Muslim sensationalist on Wednesday by retweeting multiple videos from one of the wacky leaders of Britain First, an anti-immigrant group based in the U.K.
The now-deleted videos -- titled "Muslim migrants beat up Dutch boy on crutches!", "Muslim destroys statue of Virgin Mary!", and "Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!" -- were originally shared by ultranationalist Jayda Fransen, whose other videos include her going on the streets of Britain with a big ol' cross to provoke Muslims into some type of altercation.

Fransen, who has been previously charged in the U.K. with "religious aggravated harassment," was overjoyed by the free press POTUS brought to her page and party.
Screenshotting Trump's retweets of her videos, she wrote:
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP, HAS RETWEETED THREE OF DEPUTY LEADER JAYDA FRANSEN'S TWITTER VIDEOS! DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF HAS RETWEETED THESE VIDEOS AND HAS AROUND 44 MILLION FOLLOWERS! GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP! GOD BLESS AMERICA! OCS @JaydaBF @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/BiQfQkTra9
— Jayda Fransen (@JaydaBF) November 29, 2017
If the all caps caption wasn't enough of an indication that this lady makes Alex Jones look like Dan Rather, some of her other videos will:

— Jayda Fransen (@JaydaBF) March 16, 2017
Well, we can't say we're surprised Fransen caught Trump's attention -- though several British officials were. Multiple British politicians reacted with outrage over Trump's apparent endorsement of Britain First, which many locals consider to be a hate group.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said:
"Britain First is a vile, hate-fueled organization whose views should be condemned, not amplified."
Too late for that. In fact, Fransen is already being interviewed by the BBC and CBS after being put under Trump's spotlight. Ugh.
Labour Party lawmaker Chuka Umunna was one of the many politicians who demanded the British government rescind its invitation to Trump to visit the country, tweeting:
Donald Trump is promoting the propaganda of a racist far right group. His invite to visit the UK in 2018 should be immediately withdrawn. pic.twitter.com/kgjbrG4XxQ
— Chuka Umunna (@ChukaUmunna) November 29, 2017
As for the extreme content Trump retweeted, Britain's Press Association found that most of the videos were originally shared without any context.
Video: Melania Trump's White House Christmas Decorations Look Scary AF!
According to the BBC, the video purporting to show a boy thrown off a roof was taken in Egypt in 2013. The video of a man destroying a Virgin Mary statue was posted to YouTube four years ago.
The video featuring a Dutch boy being attacked was shared to a Dutch website earlier this year. Two men were charged in connection with the incident, but no reports of the incident mentioned the religion of the assailants.
We hope this is the last we hear of Jayda Fransen and Britain First, but unfortunately this feels like only the beginning.

Related: Melania Skipped Planned Trip With Donald
While chatting with the TV personality, the Trumpster revealed he didn't want to cause "any difficulty" for the U.K., but couldn't bring himself to ACTUALLY utter the word "sorry." The reality TV star turned politician noted:
"If you're telling me these are horrible people, horrible racist people, I would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that."
Trump went on to defend that he had no knowledge of Britain First, a fringe group that claims they are protesting against the supposed "Islamization" of the United Kingdom. In order to distance himself from the controversy, Donnie said he wasn't endorsing the organization's seemingly hateful stance.
Although, he did explain that he shared the videos as he's "a big believer in fighting radical Islamic terror." In case you missed it, the controversial videos made it seem as though Islamic extremists were causing widespread bouts of violence in Europe. Specifically, it's said one clip featured a Muslim migrant beating up a Dutch boy on crutches.
The Dutch Embassy in the United States later defended that Britain First's description of what occurred was inaccurate. The assailant in the footage was born and raised in the Netherlands. After Trump shared the vids, posted online by Britain First's deputy leader Jayda Fransen, British politicians criticized 45 for "normalizing hatred" and informed him that this content should be "condemned not amplified."

Lisa Bloom is not playing around.
The famed attorney is gearing up to take down NBA star Draymond Green in court over alleged assault and battery -- and if the first press conference is any indication, Bloom is bringing her A-game.
The alleged victims of the Golden State Warriors forward spoke out on Tuesday, accusing the athlete and his friend of assaulting them at a bar near Michigan State University in 2016.
Former MSU football player Jermaine Edmondson and his girlfriend Bianca Williams nearly broke down rehashing a series of incidents in which Green allegedly attacked them.

Edmondson, 23, said Green bumped into him at a campus bar on July 9 of last year, to which Edmondson responded by telling Green the least he could do was say "excuse me."
The former athlete claimed that's when Green "looked at me in the eyes and said, 'I know n****** like you. I pay for n****** like you scholarship.'" Then, before he could respond, two men in Green's entourage allegedly grabbed Edmondson and choked him against the wall.
Even worse, one of those men allegedly choked 22-year-old Williams as well. She recounted:
"The man pushed me back into the wall by my neck. Even after he let go, I couldn't move. I was in shock and I was terrified."
The couple was shaken up, but went on with their night. The next day, the two were out to eat when they saw Green again.
Edmondson recalled walking up to the basketball star to peacefully discuss the previous night's events, but was answered with a punch in the face. He explained:
"He seemed calm, so we went up to him. I told him that last night didn't have to happen, and that it wasn't cool that Bianca got choked. His response was to punch me in the face without any warning or any reason."
Green was arrested and later accepted a plea deal. However, Edmondson says he's the one who suffered greater consequences from Green's fanbase on campus -- noting his own friends had even turned on him following the incident.

Edmondson said this was such a low point in his live, he decided to temporarily leave MSU, adding:
"People made fun of me online and in person. Fans of Draymond, MSU and the Warriors started threatening me, and I no longer felt safe on campus. No one stood up for me."
Bloom, who has recently represented Kathy Griffin and Blac Chyna, said it took courage for her clients to come forward, telling press:
"Calling out wealthy, arrogant bullies is not easy, but it's important, and that's why we are all here today. And I am very pleased to stand with Mr. Edmondson and Ms. Williams as they bravely stand up for their rights."
Edmondson and Williams have accused Green of physical assault, bullying and misleading information in the lawsuit.
The pair says they want the athlete to take responsibility and apooligize for his actions.

It's like one of those crazy conspiracy theories where you connect all the dots on a bulletin board with red string, Homeland-style.
Only there's just the two dots: Donald Trump whips up irrational fear of Muslim immigrants, right wing nutjobs decide to bomb Muslim immigrants.
Video: Colbert Grills James Comey About Trump, Hillary, & 'The Pee Pee Tape'
That seems to be the simple explanation for the crimes of Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright, and Patrick Stein (insert, above), who were found guilty on Wednesday of one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of conspiracy against civil rights.
The Kansas trio planned to plant bombs at a local apartment complex where several Somali refugees lived, as well as the local mosque where they worship.
The plot was discovered when a fellow militia member disturbed by all the talk of real violence became an informant for the FBI, wearing a wire for months!
Hours of recordings revealed discussions of how best to kill all the "cockroaches" -- their name for Muslim immigrants -- and picking out different targets using Google Earth before deciding on the mosque and nearby apartment building.

They planned the attack for the day after the 2016 election -- so as not to hurt Trump's chances (For real! They referred to him as "The Man"!) -- at prayer time when the most victims, as Stein was heard saying, would be "packed in like sardines" so the explosion would make "Jello out of their insides."
Defense attorneys argued the discussions weren't plans, just talk protected by the First Amendment.
Sorry, but making plans to murder innocent people isn't "free speech".
The men tested real bombs, and Stein was arrested delivering 300 lbs of fertilizer to undercover FBI agents he thought were going to make explosives for him. That doesn't sound like "just talk" to us.
And it didn't to Attorney General Jeff Sessions either. He reacted to the verdict by saying:
"The defendants in this case acted with clear premeditation in an attempt to kill people on the basis of their religion and national origin. That's not just illegal ― it's immoral and unacceptable, and we're not going to stand for it. Law enforcement saved lives in this case."
Trump himself has not commented on the case.
He has, however, attacked the FBI many times over the past few months.
